Equip & Engage: Research and Dissemination Infrastructures for the Humanities

Leuven, 4-6 April 2018

In April 2018, the Faculty of Arts of KU Leuven and the KU Leuven Libraries are hosting a European Conference for the Humanities on behalf of the European Consortium of Humanities Institutes and Centres (ECHIC, http://www.echic.org/).

Call for Papers and Workshops

Terra Digita:

Digital Humanities Approaches to Medieval Mapping

Cornell University

November 4-5

This panel welcomes papers that address the topic of “Global Media Ecologies” in a broad sense. In an age defined simultaneously by increased media sharing across national lines and the retrenchment of perceived “clashes” of cultures, an analysis of media ecologies offers a unique window onto shifting notions of community and identity. Papers might reflect on contemporary ecologies created by new media platforms, softwares and marketing; on old media forms (radio, television, film) and their popularity in a variety of local and global spaces; on the limits and possibilities of translation; on the emergence of distinct popular narratives and tropes, etc. Papers may analyze these and/or other questions within one region or across regions.

NEMLA 2018 - Pittsburg April 12-15, 2018

This panel engages a debate surrounding virtual reality and immersive story telling: do subjects project their real selves into virtual worlds, or do they use them to experience alternative identities?

By closing experiential gaps between the virtual and corporal, immersive virtual spaces can be experienced as real. Accordingly, virtual reality and immersive story telling can encourage subjects to express their real social behaviors, emotions, or morals. Similarly, subjects often experience virtual worlds in this manner, despite the presence of fictive or fictional elements.

Does your writing merge the metaphysical, digital, personal, and political? Perhaps you even throw in a bit of the pedagogical?

Are you looking for a medium that pays you a modest stipend to write amongst a genial and fervid cohort?

TERSE. is seeking columnists who would like to respond to prompts and contribute one (1) column monthly to receive a $25 stipend via PayPal.

Topics span the Tarot, A.I. , the cosmos, Cubism, sexuality, metaphysical depth psychology, protest, interpretive dance, gender, race, film…

We are interested in your personal philosophy as it will reflect our larger mission of merging materialism, social justice, digital culture and spirituality.
